Ease of use and comfort
► Tighten the strap using the adjustable section
in order to correctly retain the items that have
been loaded inside the cover.
The protective cover may be left in place after use.
Regularly check the condition of the
protective cover.
When signs of wear and tear appear, contact
a CITROËN dealer to have it replaced by a
protective cover that meets the specifications
and qualities required by CITROËN and your
vehicle.
Crew cab
A movable partition that can be placed behind
the first or second row of seats protects the
driver and passengers against the risk of load
movement.
A hatch in the partition can be opened to allow
long items to be carried.
A protective cover is supplied with the vehicle to
enable long items to be carried safely.
Lock the movable partition in these 2
positions only.
Do not lean on the movable partition
when boarding!
Stay alert if the vehicle is on a steep
slope, with loads behind the partition and
passengers on board!
Do not place loads behind the partition
positioned behind row 2, if the backrest
of part 2/3 of the bench seat is folded down.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag
when carrying long objects.

Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►
T
o ensure that air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the base
of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the
air outlets and the air extractor in the boot
free from obstructions.
►
Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►
Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order
.
►
If the system does not produce cold air
,
switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching off the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►
Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly
.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
►
T
o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
74
Ease of use and comfort
Rapid heating of the passenger
compartment
► Press button 3c.
► Set knob 1 to a high temperature
(minimum 21).
►
Set knob
2 to at least position 3. In cold
weather (around 0°C), the heating of the
passenger compartment is optimal when
ventilation is at level 5.
►
Press button
4 to produce quicker results
(do not leave air recirculation active for too
long: risk of misting the windows).
►
Do not press any of the other buttons.
Contains R134A fluorinated
greenhouse gases
Depending on version and country of sale, the
air conditioning system may contain R134A
fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop &
Start system, refer to the corresponding
section.

5. Air conditioning on/off.
Air flow
► Turn knob 2 to obtain sufficient air flow to
ensure your comfort.
The maximum level of ventilation is to be
reserved for defrosting or to cool the
temperature in the vehicle if it is too high.
If the air flow control knob is set to the
minimum position (system deactivated),
the temperature in the vehicle will no longer
be controlled. A slight flow of air can still be
felt, due to the forward movement of the
vehicle.
Temperature
► Turn the thumbwheel 1 from "LO" (cold)
to "HI" (hot) to adjust the temperature to your
requirements.
A setting of around 21 provides optimum comfort. Depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
In addition, we recommend avoiding left/right
setting differences of more than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is significantly colder or
warmer than the comfort value setting, there
is no need to alter the value displayed in
order to reach the required level of comfort.
The system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as quickly
as possible.

lower the temperature in summer
,
–
enhance the effectiveness of the demisting
function in winter
, above 3°C.

conditioning system.
When the air conditioning is in operation, to
cool the air more quickly, you can use interior
air recirculation for a few moments by pressing
button 4. Then restore the intake of exterior air.
The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment is set to off.
Switching the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, misting).

comfortable temperature and quiet
operation.
Provides dynamic, effective air flow.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only increase to its optimum level
gradually, to avoid distributing too much cold
air.
In cold weather, it prioritises the distribution of
warm air to the windscreen, the side windows
and the footwells only.
Manual mode
If you wish, you can make a different choice from
that suggested by the system, by changing a
setting. The other functions will still be controlled
automatically.

For optimum comfort, depending on
the outside temperature
<15°C: press button 3 until air flow to the
windscreen, side windows and passenger
footwells is activated.

Air flow
► Press the buttons 2 to increase/decrease the
air flow.
The air flow symbol (a fan) appears. It is filled in
or emptied gradually, according to the value set.
Recirculation of interior air
The intake of exterior air helps avoid and
eliminate misting of the windscreen and side
windows.
The recirculation of interior air allows the
passenger compartment to be isolated from
polluted air in areas of heavy traffic and inside
tunnels.
When required, this function also allows
faster heating or cooling of the air in the
passenger compartment.
► Press button 4 to recirculate the interior air or
allow the intake of exterior air.
Avoid the prolonged recirculation of interior air in order to ensure a good
supply of fresh air and reduce the risk of
misting (especially when several passengers
are on board or when the air is cold/damp,
etc.).

Heated windscreen and washer jets
For more information on the Wiper
control stalk and in particular the heated
windscreen and washer jets, refer to the
corresponding section.
With Stop & Start, when demisting
- defrosting has been activated, STOP
mode is not available.
Heated windscreen
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the area alongside
the left-hand windscreen pillar.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers.
Switching on/off
► With the engine running, press this button to
activate/deactivate the function (confirmed by an
indicator lamp).
The period of operation depends on the outside
temperature.
The function switches off automatically to
prevent excessive power consumption.
Demisting/de-icing the
rear screen and/or the
door mirrors
► Press one of these buttons to switch on/off
rear screen and door mirror demisting/de-icing
(depending on version).
The indicator lamp in the button comes on
when
the function is activated.
Demisting/de-icing switches off automatically to
prevent excessive power consumption.
Switch off demisting/de-icing as soon
as you no longer consider it necessary,
as decreased power consumption in turn
reduces energy consumption.
Demisting/de-icing only operates with the
engine running.
